Money-grubbing Necromancer (190)
I went out on an inspection tour with Amteron.
Guild members were selling equipment at street stalls.
Reasonable price with only 10% profit added to the material cost. The quality and price were incomparable to those of other equipment stores, so it was incredibly popular.
at that time.
A lion-headed man wearing a platinum badge approached the vendor.
“Hey, you’re killing stuff? Give me everything you’ve got.”
“Customer. You must keep order. Also, there is a purchase limit per person.”
“… … Can’t you see this?”
A lion head showing off its platinum identity badge with a wickedly distorted face.
In District 9, someone with a platinum status badge could easily be called a high-ranking noble.
Even though they were somewhat bullied, they were not able to complain. However, the guild members were not intimidated at all.
thud!
thud!
Huge minotaurs and ogres.
They were the district leaders who survived the previous battle. Their status was also platinum, as expected from a high-ranking guild district leader.
It was never low.
“Hey, Lion Head. What’s the problem?”
“… … No, because I like the item.”
“What, you like it? You’re going to buy it without waiting in line?”
Woodduck.
The lion’s head hurriedly retreated in front of the two district chiefs who were shaking their fists with ferocious faces.
“Get in line. Get in line. There’s plenty of stuff!”
“Even without a mark, take a look at the items first! Rent and installment payments are all possible! Just sign one contract and the luxury equipment will be yours! Houses are also for sale! Here are pictures of houses, so take a look as much as you want!”
I smiled happily at the sight of the district managers working as hard as if they were my own. They worked so hard even though I gave them 1% of the sales.
I approached the two district chiefs.
“Ah, Guild Master!”
“Are the items selling well?”
“Oh, I can’t sell it because I don’t have it. I can lend it to you and even split the cost between us, so why wouldn’t I buy it?”
“How about the house?”
“I finished 100 contracts today. But, Guild Leader, may I say something?”
I saw a Minotaur looking this way cautiously. He was a strong man with a platinum badge and a level 1000 rank, but he looked very polite.
“say it.”
“Installments or renting seem like really innovative methods. Since you write a contract, there is less risk. However… … is it really necessary to do that to those who fall behind? There is a high probability that they will not be able to pay back at all.”
straggler.
It refers to residents without any identification at all. It refers to those who visit the celestial city without a certificate of sponsorship, and it is said that they are usually some survivors who are dragged in when the planet is destroyed.
It was like Noah’s Ark, where the celestial city gathered survivors from each planet.
Their lives were extremely miserable, as they were brought in without identification cards.
There is no 4-pyeong house given at the beginning. You cannot receive quests either.
It’s not that strong, except for a few things there.
This is because the last survivors on each planet were mostly those who fled rather than those who fought to the end.
So the treatment of the dropouts was not good. From the 8th district up, there were almost no dropouts, but the lowest district, 9th district, was different.
More than half of the population are left behind.
These people were repeatedly working as day laborers, and the structure was such that it undermined the public order of the city.
Even those with the lowest class status enjoyed a life that was like heaven compared to the losers.
“It’s a small head.”
“Yes, guild master.”
“What did your brother say?”
“They said they would save the city.”
“Yeah. But can a city survive if more than half of its population are homeless?”
“That, that… … But the losers are no different from losers. Even if you give them a home with good equipment, they will never fight.”
“That’s all prejudice. Rather, you might not want to miss an opportunity once you get it. Because it’s desperate.”
Those who aren’t desperate can just get out since they signed a contract. Just take their equipment and house back and give it to someone else.
The price per contract is a bit expensive, but if you factor in the installment interest rate, it’s not like it couldn’t be written.
“Huh? Think about it. If these losers work hard to earn materials and sell them at the shelter to make some marks, wouldn’t that be a gain for us too?”
The entity that distributes Marks is the Celestial City. If you sell materials at a store run by the Celestial City, you will receive Marks.
‘I don’t know if it’s infinite, but I’ve been giving it to you regularly so far.’
With the marks copied in this way, you can buy building materials and develop the city.
Since the city of heaven was a spinning wheel, if only the homeless people were saved, the city could be developed and prosperous.
So, they also give equipment and houses to the homeless.
Since it’s a house built with the undead, you only need to pay for materials without any labor costs.
The same goes for equipment.
So is there a price to pay for it?
there was.
Whether it’s installment or rental.
There was just one thing in common.
You get 2% of your income.
Installments are for 10 years.

Rent is due until it is refunded.
It wasn’t all that bad for the buyers. You have to be very high-ranking to buy this kind of equipment all at once. In exchange for giving them a chance to make a comeback, they get a source of income that they can use for the rest of their lives.
Since the contract was signed, there was no way to avoid it.
The items sold in this way were structured to be settled once every seven days. Not only that, the first settlement has already arrived.
[Save the life of the loser ‘Gobmong’!]
[The life of the loser ‘Mongmongi’… ]
[We demolished the slums and created new residential areas!]
[Area 9 is under development!]
[Public points are awarded!]
As we spread the equipment and turned the economy around, public service values started to be sucked in.
But that’s… … .
‘It’s so hot?’
200 points when fighting the Harmon Guild. 1,000 points when absorbing the top 10 guilds.
But now, on the 10th day?
A whopping 30,000 points of public service were given to him. It was said that developing the city and improving the quality of life of its residents were also considered public service in the celestial city.
That too with considerable merit.
‘That makes sense.’
Once you get to District 1, improving the lives of the residents can be a definite benefit.
But District 9 was different.
It’s a transit point anyway.
It is an area that would be extremely burdensome to invest in earnest.
Most people wouldn’t have done this.
No, I couldn’t have done it.
There would be no free summons of labor. But it was a burden-free method for Kim Min-woo.
‘Mark is also being copied.’
The public value given for improving the lives of residents and the marks earned through installments and rent were different concepts.
In other words, money is being copied through two routes.
‘The future is very bright.’
2% of profits.
Once the equipment was installed and the residence was settled, the profits could only increase.
Because the Forest of Fog is overflowing with hybrids, it means there are plenty of monsters to catch.
“Just work hard, just work hard. Then I’ll take care of you foolishly.”
“Yes! I will work hard!”
The Ogre and the Minotaur shouted loudly. Kim Min-woo was certainly not a harsh master.
Even if you only received 1% of the sales, the income was quite lucrative. In fact, it was better than hunting. If you just worked hard to solicit customers, there was no reason to dislike making money without risk.
After looking around the stores like that.
This time I found Cedric.
-Put it there, put it there.
The guy was diligently directing the construction site. When the designer whispered to Cedric, the guy would direct the Dullahan, and the Dullahan would direct the skeleton.
“Yes, Cedric.”
-You’re here.
“You’ve built a lot. Are you feeling up to the task?”
―… … Well, it won’t be difficult. The subordinates are smart. They’re learning architecture well. How about Merchen?
“They must be destroying the forest by now.”
If Cedric was instructed to build it, Merhen was in charge of procuring the materials.
This was because all sorts of materials were needed to build infrastructure, such as wood, stone, and sand. They were sold at stores, but it was a waste to spend that many marks to buy them.
In times like these, we need to use free labor.
That was when.
Cedric, who had been looking around, whispered quietly.
-Master. Something is strange.
“what?”
―It’s hard to say… … I feel a gaze. It’s a tingling sensation. My instincts are sounding an alarm.
“… …Who’s watching?”
– It’s a guess. But the article’s intuition is often correct.
Your instincts won’t sound the alarm if a street vagrant is watching you.
So, that means there’s someone strong enough to threaten Cedric looking at them.
It’s not like I’m overreacting, since this is the first time Cedric has said something like this.
The guy was also a seasoned knight who had been a knight for hundreds of years. So, there was a high chance that what he said was true.
‘Is there such a being in District 9?’
As far as Kim Min-woo knew, there was none.
In the first place, the highest output in District 9 was from the top guilds. Those with potential and talent to go beyond that had already moved up a long time ago.
Amteron, who was nearby, also had a hardened face.
“Are you a blood wolf?”
“… … I heard that Hyulrang has a fiery personality. If he had come to District 9, there would have already been chaos here.”
If not the Blood Wolf, then the Red Flag executives?
I still can’t be sure.
“First, Cedric, you follow me. Leave the construction to Hae-il.”
-Okay.
Cedric nodded and followed behind as escort.
A situation where hearts communicate with each other through the heart of the legion. With him, I wasn’t afraid even of the Seven Heavenly Kings.
‘No, to be exact… … .’
I took out double and triple insurance. I didn’t kill Hyulrang’s younger brother for nothing. I did it because I had someone I could trust.
There’s a nuclear bomb over here.
There’s a really worst-case scenario, where Chiljon is a much stronger monster than expected.
‘I need to use a level up ticket.’
Originally, I was thinking of buying a mythical item, which would be the ultimate item.
What can I do?
If things don’t work out, we’ll have to apply a nuclear bomb to it and detonate it.
That’s much better than dying.
Even if it were detonated within the city, it would only harm Chiljon since it is an item that clearly distinguishes between allies and enemies.
What if I catch one of the Seven?
Even if other guys want to pick a fight, they won’t be able to.
Because you never know if there will be something like this again.
In that sense, Merhen also canceled the summoning and called her back.
-Huh? Minwoo. Why did you call?
“Do you feel any magic? It feels like someone is hiding.”
-Magic? Hmm… … .
Merhen frowned.
Magic specialist.
If the one watching from the shadows was hiding through magic… … .
There is no way to avoid Merchen.
Just like right now.
She reached forward.
That was the moment.
A strong wind began to blow, and the transparent space where there had been nothing began to melt away. A figure appeared there.
The height is about 1.7 meters.
In comparison, the black wings attached to its back were infinitely large, exceeding 3 meters in height.
A skimpy outfit.
Two huge horns, a rich pink head, and blue eyes that shimmered like the ocean.
Amteron was terrified when he saw that sight.
Seven rulers of the city.
Their appearances were all famous. The same goes for Lilith, the succubus queen and the mistress of seduction. Two huge horns, blue eyes, pink hair, and huge wings were her trademarks.
I heard it through rumors and saw it in pictures.
It looks exactly the same, I can’t help but be astonished!
“This is crazy! It’s Chiljon, Chiljon!”
Amteron shouts at Kim Min-woo in shock.
In comparison, the attitude of Lilith, whose appearance was forcibly revealed, was extremely peaceful.
“Huh? How did you find it?”
I was observing for a while.
The location was revealed really out of the blue.
It wasn’t a very high level of stealth magic, but that also depends on the user’s level.
Lilith was a succubus, and stealth magic was a basic skill for a succubus. But that was destroyed in an instant. The eyes of the residents on the street gathered at Lilith’s appearance that had suddenly appeared.
That was when.
The eyes inside the robe began to turn pink.
“Everyone! Attention!”
[Hit by the Enchanting Eyes (EX)… … .]
The villagers stared blankly at Lilith. The power of her charm did not discriminate between the undead and her. Merhen and Cedric also began to stare blankly at her.
The charm of the succubus queen.
It was a strong spell that could take away the power of life and death in an instant.
No knight of noble spirit, no dragon of thousands of years’ age, not even a woman could escape her charm.
She gave the order, holding everyone’s life in her hands.
“Forget what you just saw, everything.”
[Enchantment Command – Oblivion is executed!]
In that moment, Kim Min-woo’s eyes turned red. The intense magical power emanating from Lilith began to invade his mind.
It was like a sweet touch of seduction, a voice whispering deep into my soul, telling me to forget everything and surrender to her.
Before his thoughts could even connect, he felt himself being swept up in blind worship of Lilith. An irresistible, powerful force. It felt like every single nerve in his body was being commanded by her. Kim Min-woo bit his mouth in a hurry. Blood flowed out, and a bitter taste soaked his tongue.
This was more of a mental attack.
This was the method that the top monsters preferred. The only way to withstand mental attacks within the Gate Hunter was to train your mental power.
‘It’s something I’ve always done.’
You just have to endure it once.
In the midst of my consciousness shaking in pieces, I began to wander around looking for something that would support me.
It was just then.
Something hot began to rise from deep within my soul.
Something that cannot be broken even by the allure of release.
[Title, ‘Indomitable Spirit’ is activated!]
[Encounter a massive mental attack!]
[The unopened effect is revealed!]
[I resist!]
Kim Min-woo’s eyes opened wide and began to burn red.
It felt like something huge had exploded inside me. My body, which had been frozen like stone, was slowly releasing itself.
“Oh my! Are you resisting my charm just now?”
Release looked surprised.
There has never been a being who has completely overcome his charm. Even the Seven Lords needed time to escape his charm. That is how absolute Lilith’s power was in the field of charm.
But the human before my eyes was different. He had broken free of the fascination in a split second. It was as if he had done in one breath what the Seven Lords had spent a long time doing. No, I thought it might have been something even greater.
The soul that was held deep in the palm of my hand is slipping out.
‘How high is your mental strength… … .’
The release was astounding.
The tiny soul that had been held captive as a slave was now on its way to freedom. The sword of shadow was pulled out.
[Shadow Move (SS)… … .]
He moved behind the release in an instant and stabbed with his sword.
Her eyes sparkled with interest as she blocked the sword with her long fingernails.
Kang!
Sparks flew with a sharp crack. Kim Min-woo frowned at the rebound he felt in his palm.
“Seven Zones, Release. Is that right?”
“Don’t look at me like you’re going to kill me. I’m not used to that.”
The release’s eyes were filled with tears.
